Learn To Sail This Summer With Us
£200 Weekend | Age 16+ | 9:30am-5pm | Saturday - Sunday
Following the Royal Yachting Association Level 1 syllabus, this course introduces you to the wonderful world of dinghy sailing and will enable you to hire one of our single handed dinghies.
We will be teaching in smaller groups of six students to one instructor, and indoor time kept to a minimum. Showers will not be in use (unless emergencies) so we ask participants to shower at home of an evening.
Wetsuits, helments and buoyancy aids will be issued where needed at the start of the course and will be in your care for the duration of the course. We will take these items back and disinfect the equipment at the end of the course.
All participants will be required to wear face coverings when inside the building, unless exempt. Click here for the latest guidance on face coverings.
